Yes, I understand points you made. But for that, I may end up adding another
uio dmabuf config and adding several #ifdefs or even making it as a completely
separate module. It seemed overkill to me for a couple of hundred lines of code.
I wanted to keep it simple and less intrusive. Maybe I was being lazy. :-)
